                                  INFORMATION

ELECTION OF THE BUREAU OF THE EGM (EGM item 1)

The  Chairman of the board of directors  intends to delegate the duty to preside
as  Chairman over the  EGM to Jean-Michel  Schmit, attorney at  law (avocat à la
Cour). It is proposed to the EGM to acknowledge such delegation.

It  is  further  proposed  to  the  EGM  that  the  Chairman of the EGM shall be
empowered  to elect the other members of  the Bureau, i.e. the secretary and the
scrutineer of the meeting amongst the persons present at the meeting.


ADDING VOTING rights to the class b shares (EGM item 2)

It  is proposed to add voting rights to the class B shares of Metro, so that the
class  B shares have the same voting rights as the class A shares, i.e. one vote
for  each share. The  preferred dividends rights  and preferential rights to the
reimbursement of the contribution on the class B shares will not be affected and
will remain attached to such class B shares.


AMendment of article 5 and Article 17 of the Articles of association (EGM item
3)

It  is proposed  to amend  Article 5 paragraph  1 and 2, as  well as Article 17
paragraph  5 of  the  Articles  of  Association  of  Metro  so as to reflect the
addition of voting rights to the Class B shares mentioned above.




                              QUORUM AND MAJORITY

As of the date of this convening notice, the share capital of Metro is
represented by an aggregate number of 528,009,231 shares, composed of
264,483,532 class A voting shares and 263,525,699 class B non-voting shares.

Considering the items on the agenda of the EGM and in accordance with the law
dated 10 August 1915 on commercial companies as amended from time to time, the
class B non-voting shares will exceptionally have the right to vote on the items
of the agenda in the same manner as the class A voting shares. Each share is
entitled to one vote.

Therefore, with respect to the resolutions to be voted upon, there is a total of
voting rights of 528,009,231.

The EGM will validly deliberate on the resolutions on its agenda only if at
least 50% of the issued share capital is present or represented (the "Quorum")
and will validly be adopted only if approved by at least 2/3 of the votes cast
at the EGM. If the Quorum is not reached at the first meeting, the Board of
Directors may convene a second EGM with the same agenda at which no quorum will
be required.
